Digital Foundry vs. Unlimited Detail

"Without a doubt, the technology story of the week is Euclideon's Unlimited Detail demo: an apparently revolutionary approach to graphics rendering that sees the end of polygons, replaced by billions upon billions of "atoms" that allow for an infinite level of detail in any given game scene. In short, Euclideon appears to have come up with a new approach to voxel rendering that seemingly has much potential.

At the time of writing, the demo has been viewed almost 1.6 million times on YouTube, and has engendered fierce debate on the internet with the harshest criticism coming from Minecraft developer Notch, calling out Euclideon's engine as "a scam"."
